I can't stop playing this Jill Scott CD... My Petition is getting heavy rotation

Lawd Jesus, I would just put a bag ova, yeah ova, his head and let the rest handle itself.

*laughing*

My petition and Cross my mind are my jams!

I like Whatever...

long live Jilly from Philly

Anyone pick up Anita today? How is it?

I've had it. I love her duet with Babyface.

Like I said about her first single, if you are a true AB fan, you'll like the CD.

I purchased Jadakiss's CD "Kiss of Death" on Friday.


HOT HOT HOT!!!!!

Trust me, it will be money well spent. :D :D :D

This is not new music, but why am I JUST getting hip to Cassandra Wilson? I bought her CD New Moon Daughter (it came out in 2001) and I love her voice!! Why am I going to get her other stuff with a quickness.

I am soooooo late.....

Anybody????


Why can't I stop playing "My Petition" by Jill Scott....somebody help...lol

she did the thang!!

It's excellent. Her duet with Babyface (song 6, I think) may be the best. I'd highly reccomend it for Anita Baker fans.

Yep, that's my favorite cut! I TOLD YA! :p

I'm thinking of getting Teedra Moses. Anyone have it already?

I am loving Anita and Jill. I'm also feeling Patti LaBelle's latest even though it's not that new.

John Legend
 

John Legend John Legend John Legend!!!!

His album will be coming out on Oct. 26th. I went to his website and purchased a live CD entitled SoloSessions Vol1: Live at the Knitting Factory, it was only $10 and I received it today. All I can say is WOW.... I feel like real R&B/Soul is geting ready to make a comeback(not that poppy Usher..). John Legend is such a true artist. Please pick up his new album. Lets support some real R&B.. ... I should be on his street team..lol I havent heard the album that gonna be released yet but if his live recording is any indication.. I CAN'T WAIT

Also if you haven't gotten Anthony Hamilton yet... make the investment...

Re: John Legend
 

I have to agree. I heard him on the radio one morning and I was feeling his "Used to Love U" single. I just saw the video the other day. I was looking everywhere to see when his cd was coming out, thanks for the info.

I'm glad Ron Isley decided to do a duet with someone close to his age. He does have about 15 years on Patti...Patti...doesn't he? :confused: :D LMAO

Maybe not 15, but 10! :D

Re: John Legend
 

My roommate has been talking about this for weeks. I'm glad you posted this; I told her when the CD is coming out. I'm going to tell her about the live CD, too. Thanks!

Does anyone know when Brian McKnight's newest CD is supposed to drop? I had heard September, but we're just about out of September, so.....

I haven't heard, but I am so feeling that new song that he has out.

I am also feeling that new song by Boyz II Men. It's the Bobby Caldwell remake of What You Won't Do for Love.

Is it me or is this album only for their family members? I haven't seen any promo or heard a song on the radio.

I don't know where you are, but here in the NO area, "What You Won't Do" is getting much airplay on the R&B station. Why don't you request it and see what the radio announcer says about it. :confused:

I heard the CD, but I'm not really into BIIM anymore. They remade One Way's "Cutie Pie"...ummmmmmmm not feeling it at all! There are some things you should NOT TOUCH.

I've not heard it either. But I'm also not a big radio listener. I'll ask my roomie.

I think we can say that Boys To Men are officially over. You cant stay out of the game for more than five years and expect to come back like nothing happened.. duh...

I don't know how many on here ae familiar with her work but Lalah Hathaway has a new CD entitled "Outrun the Sky" It is absolutely brilliant. She does her father proud with this album. Also if you haven't gotten the album with her and Joe Sample pick that one up too..it is some great smooth R&B!!

That CD is beautiful!

That was a great CD!

Remember her first cut, "Baby, Baby Don't Cry"? Love LH! :D

That song was the JAM!!! :D :D

I'll have to go check out her new CD then.

BUY THIS CD!!!!!!!
 

I am diggin' Fertile Ground's newest CD, Black Is.

ETA: I don't normally do this, but I have to share with y'all the lyrics to the title track. I love this song. If I still worked at the school, I'd make a lesson plan out of this (journal or essay assignment). There are parts I'm not 100% sure what they say, so I'll put those verses in italics.

Black Is, Fertile Ground

Black boy
Standing for the ghetto
You’re so hardcore
Fist held tight won’t let go
Your legs don’t seem to run
I see you fighting for the sunlight
Cuz it’s yours
When your spirit starts to dream
And you open up your wings
You’ll soar

Black girl
Beauty finest in your bloodline
The world
Wants the gifts you’re born with
The secrets of all the queens
Are wrapped inside
Your precious genes
Stay gold
See no matter where you stop
You’ll somehow make it to the top
Cuz you’re gold

You see
Black is so beautiful
Kissed by the sun
As we dance to the drum
So beautiful
Black is so beautiful
Our spirits
Our hearts
Our style and
Our art
So beautiful

Black man
Ancient spirit of the strong
You stand
Father Creole, sing your song
The strength within your hands
Built pyramids
Like you they stand
Lead on
The protector of the womb
Your light illuminates the moon
Into dawn

Heavenly queen
Nubian goddess
Woman phenomenally
Warrior
Mother
You just protect the sun
Inhale the light
the planets die
You are the night
You rise
the planets only sound
Even when they knock you down
Still you rise

You see
Black is so beautiful
Kissed by the sun
As we dance to the drum
So beautiful
Black is so beautiful
Our spirits
Our hearts
Our style and
Our art
So beautiful

(repeat)

You are, you are so beautiful
We are, we are so beautiful
You are, you are so beautiful
We are, we are so beautiful
Beautiful

It's nice. I like it. $9.99 at Best Buy. And worth every cent!!! I don't know what my favorite track is yet. I'll be back.

Joss Stone's new CD Mind, Body and Soul is good.:D

My man's CD came out on Tues. Dangit...I had no CLUE!! I have to get that and John Legend's (Epitome and one of my friend are >there< with the Legend love) CD this weekend.

Also, My Petition is the bomb!!! Love Jilly!

Ok, I love that video. I saw it on the VH1 Soul Channel...the dancers...sigh. So, early 90's.

I'm not a big JonB fan, but dang, I normally know when people have CD's coming out. I didn't even know he had a single. Do they play it on the radio? I feel so out of touch. First BIIM now JB.

Re: BUY THIS CD!!!!!!!
 

I didn't know they had a new cd out. My favorite is Spritual War and my favorite song is "Be Natural"

Have any of you guys heard "Lyfe"'s cd? I LOVE IT.


Donnie Hathaway (my favorite artist of allll time) has a new live cd out. I just found about it and ordered it off Amazon!!

Okay I'm mad at Jon's record label for keeping this CD under wraps!! I haven't heard anything about this but I will be at Best Buy to pick it up.

Re: Re: BUY THIS CD!!!!!!!
 

I love that song, too!! I think my favorite is Field Songs and my favorite song is Soul Mates.

Interrogation on Lyfe
 

Ok, I did a search and read the lyrics to some of the songs. I'm diggin' the song My Life. What kind of music is it? Like, if you could compare it to somebody, who would be comparable? R&B or NeoSoul or Jazzy or all of the above? How old is this cat?

I saw it earlier this week and last night on the VH1 Soul Channel
